It is known that extractivism activities require knowledge of the territory, on the ecology of the species exploited and the cultural rules that regulate them. For this reason, cultural ecology can help us understand this identity, since it studies the adaptive relationship between a people and the environment in which they live and between the environment and its human inhabitants. Traditional knowledge has been passed on from generation to generation by the families of the Extractivist / Riverine communities and, with the course of time, changes occur in the elements of this people's culture, because it is the nature of human beings to adapt to the changes that occur over the years. Adaptations are necessary to improve the stay of a given social group or individual amid nature. To understand these processes, the research was carried out in communities in the Xingu River RESEX, using participant observation, semi-structured interviews and a workshop at the school. Seven cultural ecological analytical categories were identified, representing interactions between elements of culture and the environment, behavioral patterns adapted to socio-cultural changes and the consequences of changes on culture. Some changes were evidenced, such as the disappearance of wooden handicrafts and the food transition that is taking place, with strong influences from the external market of processed products. On the other hand, the use of natural remedies, made from medicinal plants, and subsistence hunting are still maintained. Fishing has undergone changes, due to alterations in the river's cycles caused by anthropogenic action. All the traditional knowledge investigated was considered important content to be dealt with in the classroom to improve teaching and student learning. The workshop held with parents, students and educational service providers at the school showed that all the participants knew about the plantations, the chestnut groves and the species of animals that frequent them. They also referred to aspects of the management and use of the plants and the products obtained from them with some precision. However, there was more ignorance on the part of the young people, which demonstrates the importance of a differentiated and contextualized education in the schools of the Extractivist Reserves. In addition, the adults interviewed did not know how to define the Extractivist / Riverine identity very well. Cultural ecology can be seen as an important tool for organizing traditional knowledge and practices, from which it becomes possible to better enlighten the residents of the Extractive Reserve about their identity.Acesso AbertoReserva ExtrativistaTerritórios TradicionaisBioculturalidadeAmazôniaExtractivist ReserveTraditional TerritoriesBioculturalityCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::SOCIOLOGIATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
